In January, Westmoreland Conservation District featured CREP at their soil health conference. Over 80 people attended the event.
In March, Beaver County Conservation District offered an agricultural workshop where participants learned about many ag programs, including CREP. About 30 individuals attended the event.
PACD is accepting mini-grant applications from conservation districts for up to $3,000 to implement educational and outreach activities that support and extend the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) work. Projects should focus on CREP enrollment, re-enrollment, and/or CREP maintenance.
Applications will be accepted and approved on a rolling basis until funds are expended. The project completion and final report deadline is extended to October 31, 2024. Contact Holly Miller at hmiller@pacd.org with questions.
Financial and other support for the CREP Outreach Program Office Mini-grant Program is provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a Growing Greener Watershed Protection grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and with additional support from USDA-NRCS.
